Edd Roush (Edd J. Roush) was born on May 8, 1893 in Oakland City, Indiana. He made his Major League debut on August 20, 1913 for the Chicago White Sox. In 1914, his rookie year, he hit .325 with 1 home run and 30 RBI. Roush played for the Chicago White Sox, Newark Peppers, New York Giants and Cincinnati Reds over the course of his 18 year career.
There is some disagreement on what was Edd Roush's most productive season. Some believe that it was 1923, when he hit for a .351 average and knocked in 88 runs. However, others believe that it was 1920, when he stole 36 bases, hit for a .339 average and knocked in 90 runs.
